253 [Twenty Seven – Passenger]

Twenty Seven – Passenger

Twenty seven years twenty seven years old The only thing I know The only thing I get told I’ve gotta sell out if I wanna get sold Don’t want the devil to be taking my soul, I Write songs that come from the heart I don’t give a fuck if they get in to the chart or not Only way I can be Is to say what I see And have no shadow hanging over me

I don’t know where I’m running but I know how to run ‘Cos running’s the thing I’ve always done I don’t know what I’m doing but I know what I’ve done I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun

Twenty seven years twenty seven years now Only thing I know I know that I don’t know how To please everybody all of the time, ‘Cos everybody’s always fucking changing their minds A little bit faded A little bit jaded Not gonna stop and I won’t be persuaded To write words I can’t believe in To see my face on a video screen

I don’t know where I’m running but I know how to run ‘Cos running’s the thing I’ve always done I don’t know what I’m doing but I know what I’ve done I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun

Twenty seven years twenty seven years done Written six hundred songs only twelve get sung Eighty seven thousand cigarettes have passed through these lungs And every single day I wish I’d never smoked one A week brushing my teeth and a week getting my haircut Eight years sleeping I’m still tired when I wake up A whole year eating and I still lost weight fuck Five proper girlfriends and five messy breakups Twenty seven birthdays twenty seven new years Thirty thousand quid just so I could have a few beers Ever dying old hopes Ever growing new fears Don’t know where I’m going but I know how I got here

I don’t know where I’m running but I know how to run ‘Cos running’s the thing I’ve always done I don’t know what I’m doing but I know what I’ve done, I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun, I don’t know where I’m running but I know how to run ‘Cos running’s the thing I’ve always done I don’t know what I’m doing but I know what I’ve done I’m a hungry heart I’m a loaded gun
